The proposed bill establishes the Office of Climate Action within the Department of Environment and Energy in Nebraska. This office is tasked with collaborating with stakeholders, political subdivisions, and organizations to enhance education, provide technical support, and expand access to resources related to climate action. The office will also employ personnel to develop policies that support climate initiatives and is required to create a comprehensive climate action plan by July 1, 2026, which will address managing climate change risks and reducing its causes within the state.

Additionally, the Office of Climate Action must submit an annual report to the Clerk of the Legislature by July 1 each year. This report will detail the impact of state legislation on climate action, federal funding secured for climate initiatives, technical assistance provided, collaborations with stakeholders, summaries of localized climate plans, and recommendations for further climate action investments. The bill defines "climate action" as any effort aimed at combating climate change and its effects.
